ALUMINUM / ALLOY WHEELS
Allowed? Not allowed?
Good idea? Bad idea?
I've come across quite a few 26mm versions, but also a few 24mm versions (although most of the 24mm versions have a 2mm offset...not sure if that would be a problem with the AGATA body). Curious as to whether, or not, anyone had used any aluminum/alloy rims in USGT races. If so, did it turn out to be a "good", or a "bad, decision? Either way, I plan on getting a set...even if they end up on the vehicle only for show (obviously, my above questions are in regards to racing). As I'm just getting started in USGT, I'm on the beginning side of the 'learning curve'. Also, I'm still uncertain as to whether, or not, NorCal Hobbies is following the "spec" tire rule, or whether they allow other (incl 26mm) tires. If anyone in here is familiar with which USGT rules NorCal sticks to, and which rules they don't follow 100%, please let me know (I had meant to ask Eric when I was in there Monday, but ( forgot (was in-between clients, and, thus, in a rush).

it even comes in a the perfect legal weight of 95g ready to race.
Just curious, but are those wheels 24mm or 26mm? As far as they are inside the wheel-wells, if those are 24mm, there should be enough room for 26mm...should your club allow 26mm rims (which I am also interested in finding our for our local).
